 The Phekda system was opened up by three major corporations simultaneously.
Kamawachi, Bell-Traket and Inter-Market. A brief spell of mutual cooperation soon
degenerated into fierce corporate warring, resulting in the destruction of most of the original
bases. Several small pressure groups converged on the planet of New California and set up
independent operations, using military hardware from a nearby war to enforce their
independence. In the uncontrolled warring, much of the indigenous life was destroyed by
bacterial warfare and radioactive fall-out. Many parts of the world are still contaminated. The
entire system now operates as an anarchic state and visitors must be prepared to deal with each
individual entirely on their own merits.

 It is a dangerous system to visit, especially on a casual basis, since there is no law
enforcement in the system. Every once in a while the Federation attempts to impose order, but
the fiercely independent colonists resort to guerilla tactics to maintain their 'freedom' . Any
traveller visiting the system during such a sortie can expect to be treated in a very undignified
fashion and may even have to stand trial as a spy. The system is also a haven for escaped
convicts and bounty hunters.

 All in all a highly uncivilised region and well worth missing by any law abiding citizen.
